Isolated Ni(OH) 2 sites for selective electrooxidation of ethanol to acetate
Abstract
Isolated Ni(OH) 2 sites prepared by simple drop-casting enable selective ethanol electrooxidation to acetate with >90% Faradaic efficiency. Both 1,1-ethanediol and 1-ethoxyethanol were identified as intermediates in the acetate-formation pathway.
